Tidy-up[edit]

Just thought I'd give the page a bit of a going over: not too much, just enough to make it scan. Absurdtrousers (talk) 17:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Minor appearances[edit]

The Ood have a minor appearance in a montage sequence in "Human Nature" when Timothy opens the fob watch. Worth noting? Absurdtrousers (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Their appearance has "made them a referent in British popular culture". What is a "referent"? Or is this simply appallingly bad English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 07:55, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary has an entry for the word if you're unsure what it means: wikt:referent. Anemone Projectors 12:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A Good Man Goes to War[edit]

Does anyone have a source for the Ood Sigma scene being cut? Babelcolour5 (talk) 14:13, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resemblance to Cthulhu.[edit]

Has no-one else noticed how much the Ood resemble Cthulhu? Could the idea for this have been derived from Cthulhu and if so, should that be noted on this page someplace? Anyone know where there might be a source for such a connection? — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 01:31, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Even more than that, complete with their human size and telepathic powers, they resemble Illithids (aka mind flayers) from Dungeons & Dragons. But without reliable sources indicating they are inspired by them (not just a message board can let noticing their similarities to either Chutulu or Illithids), it's too trivial to mention. oknazevad (talk) 02:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who Series 13[edit]

An Ood was shown in a pre release trailer for Doctor Who: Flux. Worth noting about the upcoming appearance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pokelego999 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
